All the above premises, as well as the dwellings of 14 outworkers,
have been subjected to periodical inspection, and everything
done that was possible to do in the matter of preventing overcrowding
and abating sanitary nuisances generally.
No notice has been received this year from H.M. Inspector of
Factories.
Gipsies' Vans and Tents.
Again we have had considerable trouble with these people
during the past year; as many as 104 vans have been removed off
vacant building land. The inmates throw their refuse on the
ground around the vans and cause considerable annoyance to the
occupiers of houses in the localityw here they camp. Some of the
owners have fenced in their land, but there are several places where
the land is unfenced and no assistance is rendered us in keeping the
Gipsies off.
I have again to thank the police officers for their assistance in
removing these vans.
Dairies, Cowsheds and Slaughter Houses.
There are 27 Milkshops, 5 Cowsheds, 1 Licensed and 3
Registered Slaughtei Houses in the District, all of which have been
periodically inspected, and the limewhiting done in accordance
with the Bye-laws.
